Position Paper for FAO World Summit on Food Security 2009

World Summit on Food SecurityRome, 16 - 18 November 2009

The International Federation for Home Economics (IFHE) is aware that the main objective of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is to guarantee that all people have access at all times to the food needed to lead healthy and active lives. IFHE supports the twin-track approach of FAO, World Food Programme (WFP), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and their development partners which aim to achieve and sustain global food security as soon as possible.

Since the 2006 IFHE Council Meeting, the IFHE Think Tank Committee has focussed on the development, finalisation and strategies for dissemination of the Home Economics in the 21st Century Position Statement, which has been developed by members of the Think Tank Committee through an extensive consultative process.
